Pereida v. Wilkinson on the immigration consequences of ambiguous convictions

Research output: Contribution to book or proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

We live in a time when information always seems to be at our fingertips. Government records on individuals abound. It may therefore seem hard to believe that sometimes no record exists after someone is convicted of a crime to tell us exactly what they did. In Pereida v. Wilkinson, the Supreme Court had to decide whether this ambiguity should work for or against a noncitizen attempting to avoid deportation.
